Want a good excuse to head up to Northern California? Here is the perfect reason. It’s summer, the area is beautiful, there are more wineries than you know what to do with and the Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association is holding their annual Grape to Glass fun-filled weekend. The festivities start Friday August 14 and go through Sunday the 16th. This is not like your normal festival. There are activities that you sign up for in advance and participate in. Here is a sampling of things to do:

• Get your boots dirty and your wine knowledge refreshed while taking part in our Behind the Wines grower and vintner presentations.

• Taste your way to a winning hand at the Winery Poker Run.

• Take in Sip ‘N’ Cinema – Where Hollywood meets Wine Country at MacMurray Ranch – A Sensory Experience.

• Experience the Russian River Valley Lifestyle by land, water and air – on bikes, kayaks and in hot air balloons.

• Enjoy wine country at its best at the Hog in the Fog Winegrower BBQ, Tasting Fest & Auction showcasing samplings of more than 50 of our wineries.
